A private collection turned into a museum brings together over 250 phones in Cacia, Aveiro. On display of the latest mobile phones, we retreated to the end of the late nineteenth century.
Agostino shows your favorite phone and on the wall, above, is the first one you bought. The relic is from 1930 and started in 2006 for the creation of this telephone museum in Cacia, Aveiro.
All equipment came from old, scrap or CTT. It is the private collection of Agostinho, who was gathering, buying and recovering each of the already over 250 pieces.
From the oldest specimens to the latest some of the oldest still work. Allow even to simulate a phone call to the President of the Republic or Put the visitors to establish a call between the White House and the Kremlin.
By marking, the museum receives hundreds of visits per year. Also elderly, but most, children of infanties and schools, who recognize little or nothing in this room.
In negotiation is the change of the site of the telephone museum. Augustine was contacted by the Aveiro Chamber so that the estate will be available in a parish council building.
The world of telecommunications has suffered a revolution in the last 30 years. Augustine believes the phones will eventually die.
